Understanding the concept

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a collection of 17 interconnected global goals designed to be a 'blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all'. They were established in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and are intended to be achieved by the year 2030. These goals cover a wide range of social, economic, and environmental issues, aiming to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for everyone. For example, SDG 1 focuses on 'No Poverty', aiming to eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere. SDG 4 is 'Quality Education', striving to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Each goal has specific targets, meaning detailed objectives for how to achieve that goal. The idea behind the SDGs is that all countries – rich, poor, and middle-income – need to work together to promote prosperity while protecting the environment. They encourage a holistic approach to development, recognizing that progress in one area often depends on progress in others.

• Discuss real-world examples of how local communities are contributing to global goals after solving the questions.
• Use this worksheet as a quick check for understanding before a larger unit on global issues.
